Alexandre Michel Gérard Desplat (French pronunciation: ​[a.lɛk.sɑ̃dʁ dɛs.pla]; born 23 August 1961) is a French film composer. He has received six Academy Award nominations, six BAFTA nominations (winning one), six Golden Globe Award nominations (winning one), and five Grammy nominations (winning one). Desplat has worked on a variety of Hollywood films, including independent and commercial successes like The Queen, The Golden Compass, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 and Part 2, The Grand Budapest Hotel, The King's Speech, Argo, Zero Dark Thirty and Godzilla.

Claude Antoine Marie François (1 February 1939 – 11 March 1978), also known by the nickname Cloclo, was a French pop singer, songwriter and dancer.

François wrote and composed "Comme d'habitude", the original version of "My Way" and "Parce que je t'aime mon enfant", the original version of "My Boy". Some of his most famous songs are "Le Téléphone Pleure", "Le lundi au soleil", "Magnolias for Ever" and "Alexandrie Alexandra".

François sold some 70 million records during his career (and after his death) and was about to embark for the U.S. when he accidentally electrocuted himself in March 1978 at age 39. Former French President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing is quoted as saying Claude François was, to him, the equivalent of The Beatles.
